Drones and ISIS Combat



drones in ukraine war

The United States and Russia want more modern aircraft. But Ukraine does not have the necessary resources to train their soldiers in these types of aircraft. While Ukrainians are able to receive training on aircraft and other vehicles in Western nations like Germany, they can't get the same training for drones in Ukraine. Ukrainians are used to using older equipment like trucks, and drones are easier to use for them. Drones can be operated by soldiers without the need for pilots. Drones are also easy to use, similar to those in video games.

Aerorozvidka

To combat ISIS in Eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian military has a unique strategy: octocopters with thermal cameras are used for nighttime missions. Some drones are fitted with anti-tank weapons and even have the capability to light up columns. These drones are highly maneuverable and can carry as much as 11 lbs of payload. The drones' small size means they can fly low over targets and drop munitions.

Aerorozvidka started out as an IT enthusiast organization. Today, Aerorozvidka is a military-grade air reconnaissance unit. Aerorozvidka began as a civilian drone company. However, the organization grew to become a fully fledged unit with its own head. The Ukrainian government banned Russian military aircraft from entering the country because of export controls. Aerorozvidka is dependent on crowdfunding and donations to support its operations, since many components of drones are made in the US.

Switchblade

The U.S. military is supplying Ukraine with armed "Switchblade" drones, which are able to strike Russian tanks from miles away. The US Air Force developed these unmanned aerial vehicles in response to Ukrainian needs. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesperson, stated that more than 120 of these machines are currently being sent to Ukraine. There is not yet any information about how the Switchblades are used in the conflict with Ukraine.

The Switchblade small drone can be launched easily from a tube. It is capable of traveling 40 kilometers. The Switchblade is able to hit a Russian convoy 6 miles away, which is unlike Bayraktar drones. These small aircraft can be assembled in minutes during a conflict like that of Ukraine. The Switchblade can fly much faster than the Bayraktar (current U.S. ally).


Russian kamikaze drones

Recently, the US announced a $800 million military aid package to Ukraine. The delivery of 121 unmanned aircraft called "Phoenix Ghosts", which is intended to terrorize Russian forces, is part of the package. These aircraft are designed for flying over areas for up to thirty to forty minutes and come equipped with warheads, cameras, and other equipment. Switchblade is one such drone. It's a hovering munition measuring 5.5 pounds, and it can eliminate armored vehicles as well as tanks.

These small, light aircrafts come equipped with a powerful, low flight gimbal which allows them to operate from either air, ground, or water. A conflict like this is where every advantage one side has over the other in an aerial battle is critical. Russian kamikaze helicopters are a direct threat. This capability will likely be key to Ukraine's military, as it can easily break Russian sieges and attack command-and-control nodes. This capability would be a big liability for both parties, but Ukraine could emerge victorious if a small drone makes a difference on battlefield.

U.S. loitering Drones

Russia is now integrating ZALA KYB lotering munitions in its military arsenal. These drones have the ability to use deadly loitering munition in the style of bazookas. These autonomous killing machines may be more common in black markets if loitering drones are used. However, experts and pundits have expressed concern about this. So what can the U.S. do to stop this from happening?

Kirby claims that the U.S. government sent more than 121 Switchblade loitering helicopters to Ukraine in order to aid Kiev against Russian forces. The Switchblade drone, which weighs in at 5.5 lbs, can hover over an area for 30 to 40 minutes. It comes with a camera as well as a small warhead. It's intended mission is to attack the opposition forces in Ukraine.
